base does not include any fonts. context minimal = base - unused engines/binaries + fonts infrastructure. context minimal clocks about 170M -- uncompressed at the moment, so i think the package could be well under 100M with everything, and even smaller with the option of not installing xetex and luatex. -f -- the current death rate? one per person, of course.
